hope that helps, heard about this at DevCon3, got no time to get to the bottom of it and send a patch. Good to see projects like these happening.

yes, same here, and also heard about it at DevCon, however via the livestream :-)

My error messages look different:

this you want to know:

[mmckegg]

@gubatron

Looks like you've hit an npm bug. What version of npm are you running?

Found this: npm/npm#18520

5.5.0 and 5.5.1 have the fixes for this issue. Thank you!

@drandreaskrueger

The line in that error log that matters is:

sh: 1: node-gyp: Permission denied

Found this but not sure if it will be helpful.

I see node-gyp-build in your package.json file, wonder why it didn't try to install it, perhaps it should be moved to another section.

Now I guess it's complaining about electron

tried the npm rebuild it suggested...

then again npm install

gave this error along the way:

> fsevents@1.1.2 install /Users/gubatron/src/patchwork/node_modules/fsevents
> node install

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(404): https://fsevents-binaries.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/v1.1.2/fse-v1.1.2-electron-v1.8-darwin-x64.tar.gz 
node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for fsevents@1.1.2 and electron@v1.8.1 (electron-v1.8 ABI) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

npm start

It seems like it twerked!

Hope this helps somebody else.

[drandreaskrueger]

Please add this to your how to install instructions:

node install -g node-gyp

now it worked. The electron node install.js part took ages without any feedback, but eventually it finished.

Whole procedure:

git reset --hard
git pull origin master

sudo npm uninstall -g node-gyp
sudo npm install -g node-gyp

rm -rf node_modules
npm install

Hooray, it works.

Thanks a lot!

I thought that node-gyp was included with node. Maybe it was removed?

I suppose we could just add it as a devDependency in patchwork and avoid all of this.

[mmckegg]

I'm gonna go ahead and close this! Anyone is welcome to reopen this if node-gyp continues to be a problem. Hopefully fixed now.
